Trouble Kelp
Loyal Servant of Altera
Day 28 of Vengeance...Day 1 of Life
You see a field of snow. Dead bodies lie by the dozens, blood soaks the ground scarlet. Elves eyes gaze out into the wasteland, glazed over in terrible death. In the center, a lone dwarf rests on his knees. He does not move, yet he is not dead. Blood runs from wounds all over his body. Ice hangs off him like a mountain. He has nothing left. No rage...no pain...no life. Waiting to die. He sits there for hours, staring into the storm, waiting...waiting.
He remembers...his parents...his life...his hatred...all a dream. Why matters it now? He cares not. Let death come.
Just then, he remembers something Aaron once told him.
"We all experience pain. Old Aaron lost everything. Family, friends, money. All gone. So, what did I do? I rebuilt it all. Life is precious to those who have only life. Don't waste it."
The dwarf thinks for a moment, then rises painfully to his feet, and walks off into the storm. There is life still in this one.
The adventure is over...but life has just begun.
